not able to sleep
The night becomes a silence without your breathing to sleep by
I become a washed out waker, tired of eye
I wrap up the gifts that you gave,
Our farewell kisses, our passion, our caring: aim to be brave
I bundle them together with my fondness for you,
Scared by the vast reach of my love for you
I seek out all the feeling that I have inside
Look for ways to escape, look for a guide
I can’t bear to keep going without you, so much pain
With you all the days had begun again
The hours, the minutes filled up
All the emotion, all of the joy, piled up
Almost exhausting, nearly the same as before
The clothes I wore for you, scatter across the floor
I’m filled to the brim, overflowing, clocks ticking away,
You’re with me every moment, part of the patchwork of my day
But everything winds down, as coiled springs begin to straighten
I am worn out, wearied, all done in, I weaken
The tick of the clock fades to silence
I feel your absence,
As the night draws into the black, you can’t be here
Yet I need you, I need you near
I wrap myself in the memory of you, feel fear
Feel all alone, feel the fall of my first tear
